[Bug 1825239] Re: Enable support for trusty ESM

[Andreas Hasenack]

** Description changed:

- ubuntu-advantage-tools on trusty needs an update to support trusty ESM.
+ [Impact]
  
- SRU template to follow.
+ Trusty is about to enter ESM (Extended Security Maintenance). While a
+ new ubuntu-advantage-tools client is in development and almost finished,
+ we thought it best to update the existing client in the meantime,
+ already shipped in trusty, to support ESM.
+ 
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ * Install ubuntu-advantage-tools from trusty-updates:
+ sudo apt install ubuntu-advantage-tools
+ 
+ * Verify that it says esm is not avaiable:
+ $ ubuntu-advantage status
+ livepatch: disabled
+ 
+ esm: disabled (not available)
+ 
+ fips: disabled (not available)
+ 
+ * Update the client to the version in proposed and run status again. This time it should have no remark about esm being not available:
+ $ ubuntu-advantage status
+ livepatch: disabled
+ 
+ esm: disabled
+ 
+ fips: disabled (not available)
+ 
+ 
+ [Regression Potential] 
+ The existing trusty ubuntu-advantage-tools package only supports livepatch. This update is not touching that part of the code, but instead adding support for esm which was previously not available.
+ 
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ There will be a new update soon, that completely revamps the package. That will be subject to a new, different, SRU.
